For several years, when the Holy See thought that Augsburg had given up on revenge, Augsburg orchestrated an unprecedented revenge operation to overthrow the Holy See from its roots.

They first took advantage of the momentum of the Holy See's witch hunt to spread rumors that cats were accomplices of witches and messengers of evil.

After the cats died in large numbers, the rats, which had lost their natural predators, multiplied and spread at an incredible rate.

When rats spread across Europe, the mages of Augsburg used some kind of spell to create the mutant plague.

It is believed that they should have been in several cities at the same time to disperse the plague, and a few key points could easily spread throughout Europe as long as they were connected.

Therefore, the plague, known as the Black Death, was so violent, fast-spreading, and so high in death that it far exceeded people's understanding of the normal spread of plague, and it was not something that ordinary medical methods could deal with.

The plague epidemic is bound to cause extreme panic.

People in panic are most likely to pin their helplessness on religion.

And the way the Holy See is customary, it will certainly take the opportunity to proclaim the grace and glory of God, and although they are helpless against the plague, it will not prevent them from taking the opportunity to preach, as is the usual practice of all the gods.

When the Holy See defended the authority of the Holy See and the dignity of God with one lie after another, the Protestants appeared at the right time.

It is conceivable that Martin 61 Luther has been propagating his theories since he launched the Reformation in an attempt to compete with the Holy See, but he has been very difficult to promote new theories due to his lack of money and power, although he has borrowed money from Augsburg to maintain the promotion of doctrine, but in terms of Augsburg's attitude towards the Holy See, he will never be interested in Martin 61 Luther's teachings.

But when Augsburg decided to retaliate against the Holy See, they must have contacted the Protestant Church led by Martin 61 Luther as soon as possible, and proposed a plan of support, but asked the Protestant Church to cooperate with their actions.

The Protestants may have known that Augsburg was the real culprit of the Black Death, or that they had accepted Augsburg's help only for their own benefit, but in any case, the two sides reached an agreement.

At the critical moment when the Black Death threatened the survival of all of Europe, the Protestants appeared in various cities with the cures provided by Augsburg, helping the people to fight the plague and spreading Protestant doctrines, easily winning over a large number of believers, while the papacy was helpless, and the papacy was helpless, and he also used the name of God to make a profit—the nobles and wealthy merchants were particularly angry, and the sales of indulgences increased by at least fifty percent during this period. But there is no surprise that the nobles who bought the indulgences should not be delayed.

Therefore, when the Protestants preached, the nobles and wealthy merchants who were deceived and angry turned to Protestantism in large numbers faster than the commoners, and after they believed in Protestantism, they provided money, places and other conveniences to help Protestantism spread, and soon a virtuous circle was formed, until there were Protestant believers in the royal families of various countries.

This is the main reason why the Holy See is so panicked that it wants to assassinate those Protestants, because the massive loss of believers is simply unstoppable like a landslide, which has seriously threatened the dominance of the Holy See.

This series of profits is interlocking, rigorous and precise, and it is simply chilling.

It was not the Holy See at that time that connected these things, but the later historical scholars of the Holy See, but they only deduced the above content from various relevant historical sources, but there was no real evidence.

At this time, the mages of Augsburg had already officially unveiled the banner of the GelbHalstch Monastery in Europe, becoming one of the most important magic forces in Europe.

But at that time, the Holy See did not care to straighten out these contents.

Because the situation deteriorated further after the failure of the paladin's assassination attempt.

The Protestants displayed the corpses of the paladins and publicized the vile acts of the Holy See to their followers and those who had begun to waver, and to make people aware of the Holy See's fear of Protestantism.

Why are they afraid?

Because Protestantism is the real master, the real spokesman of God!

This intensified the conversion of believers to Protestantism.

The Holy See became more nervous and began to suppress Protestantism through various channels, including the persecution of Protestants by using its connections with the royal families.

Although there were a large number of nobles and wealthy merchants in Protestantism, which had gathered a large number of believers in a short period of time, it was far from enough to penetrate the royal family.

This is also the main basis for later researchers to suspect that Augsburg is the mastermind behind the scenes, you must know that Augsburg with its strong financial influence on the royal family has reached an unimaginable level, for a long time, there have even been warring sides of the royal family military funding source is Augsburg loans, so when the two sides fought to the death, after the head was broken, each looked back, shocked to find that their mines and castles have been marked with Augsburg, So what are they fighting for?

With Augsburg's influence, if one is really a backstage supporter of Protestantism, there is no reason why he should not pave the way for Protestantism in the royal family.

But there are also conspiracy theorists who have further theorized that not helping Protestantism to spread among the crown is itself a huge conspiracy in Augsburg, in order to create bloodier conflicts and turmoil and further shake the foundations of the Holy See's rule.

The basis for this conspiracy theory is the development of the situation that follows.

The suppression of Protestantism by the royal family caused serious dissatisfaction among Protestants, who held meetings, stormed Catholic churches, and even rioted under the banner of Protestantism.

This antagonism culminated in the bloody October assassination series.

In October 1571, a series of assassinations shocked the continent, targeting cardinals and archbishops of the Holy See.

This is a shocking event both in the secular world and in the magic world.

Each cardinal was himself a highly skilled mage, but one by one he died at the hands of the assassins, as if he were really a powerless monk.

The Holy See, in a state of great panic, intensified its crackdown on Protestants and adopted even more bloody measures.

The protracted and bloody religious war between Protestants and Catholics reached its peak after St. Bartholomew's Night.

In order to end the all-out civil war of religious disputes, the Catholic French royal family married Princess Marguerite 61 de 61 Valois to King Henry of Navarre, the Protestant secular leader. But it was a long-planned, purposeful massacre. While everyone was celebrating the wedding, all the bells of Paris rang and a massacre against the Protestants began, which led to a bloody war of religion throughout France, until the victory of Protestantism and the ascension of Henry to the throne of France, which ended with the start of the Bourbon dynasty.

By this time, the power of the Holy See had shrunk rapidly, and it could no longer maintain its dominance in Europe, and in order to survive and fight against the aggressive Augsburg, it had to reach an agreement with the Wizards' Guild to rule jointly.
